Clark Kent, new to
the City of Metropolis, joins the Daily Planet and teams up with Lois Lane,
ace reporter. Together, they uncover a plot by reclusive billionaire Lex
Luthor to sabotage the Prometheus space station project so that he can put
forward one of his own and become the saviour of the space administration.
Once Clark has been helped by his foster-mother to create a costume, he
emerges as Superman to save the day.

Lex Luthor, the
evil, reclusive billionaire who uses Metropolis as the base for his
nefarious activities, decides that the town isn't big enough for both him
and Superman. With assistants Albert, Asabi, Jules and Monique, he decides
to test Superman's powers by working on the principle that he cannot be in
two places at once. Of course, at The Daily Planet, Lois hasn't
tumbled that mild-mannered colleague Clark Kent is not all that he seems.
She is determined, with the help of Jimmy Olsen and Cat Grant, to reveal
Superman's true identity.
